Hi,

I am unable to get metrics for single process (custom c# console application) in metricbeat 6.2.2. I have configured metricbeat.yml properly,Can anyone tell me whats going wrong in below configuration.

metricbeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
reload.enabled: true
metricbeat.modules:

  • module: system
    metricsets:
    • cpu
    • filesystem
    • memory
    • network
    • process
      enabled: true
      period: 10s
      processes: ['consolesssms.exe']

Thanks in advance !!!

Please attach your full configuration. Also, format it using </>.
What is the failure? Do you see any error messages in your logs? Could you attach your full debug logs (./metricbeat -e -d "*")?

Below is the full configuration,Let me know whats going wrong.. It would be very helpful if you can provide me sample for system >> Process >> processes module

<
metricbeat.config.modules:
? "-module"
: system
metricbeat.modules: ~
metricsets:
- process
path: "${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml"
processes:
- [^consolessms.exe$]
reload.enabled: true
output.elasticsearch:
hosts:
- ["12.25.55.98:9200"]
setup.dashboards.enabled: true
setup.dashboards.url: ~
setup.kibana:
host: "12.25.55.98:5601"
setup.template.settings:
index.codec: best_compression
index.number_of_shards: 1
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch: ~
xpack.monitoring.enabled: false />

hello kvch,

 I am trying to know the format/syntax to get metrics of a single process.. Not sure why you are asking logs etc

I have followed steps during installation and added [^consolessms.exe$] to get metrics of only consolessms.exe process, but its not working fine and loading all the metrics into elasticsearch.

Let me know if [^consolessms.exe$] syntax is correct. If not Please provide me the format of process -> processes tag to get metrics of single process in a machine.

Thanks,

Your regex seems fine. Could you please format your configuration properly using </> so I can validate that there isn't any whitespace error?
I am asking for the debug logs, because it might tell us what is going wrong in Metricbeat.
